Printing Locked PDF Files?
Discussion
If the originator of the file has set the security setting to disallow printing, then you wont be able to.
You would have to have a full version of acrobat plus the password the originator used to set the security up in order to change those settings.
I ocassionally generate pdf's I don't want people to print and so I too, tick the 'Disallow Printing' box before locking down the file and distributing it. The end user is none the wiser until they try to print it, 'cos you don't need a password just to view the file. (although that option can be enabled as well)

You're only real option is to take screen dumps and print them that way...

Standard acrobat security setting.
